What Is Combat Patrol: Orks (Morgrim's Butchas)?
Combat Patrol: Orks — officially named Morgrim's Butchas — is Games Workshop's entry-level box for the Orks, built around the Beast Snagga sub-faction theme. Priced at £105, it delivers 26 miniatures plus a transfer sheet — one of the highest model counts in the Combat Patrol range.
Box Contents: What Do You Get?
- 1x Beastboss — your warlord, a powerful Beast Snagga leader
- 4x Squighog Boyz + 1x Bomb Squig — fast, hard-hitting cavalry riding massive squig beasts
- 20x Beast Snagga Boyz — the core infantry: Beast Snagga-themed Ork Boyz in large numbers
- 1x Ork Clans Transfer Sheet — clan icons and markings
26 models for £105 is outstanding value by any measure.
Playstyle: How Do Orks Play?
Orks are the most aggressive and numerous faction in 40k. They overwhelm opponents with sheer volume of bodies and close-combat fury. Key traits:
- Green Tide: 20 Beast Snagga Boyz create a wall of green bodies that must be cleared before they reach melee — and they will reach melee.
- Beastboss: A combat powerhouse who buffs Beast Snagga units nearby. Keep him in the thick of it.
- Squighog Boyz: Fast cavalry that hits hard on the charge. Use them to threaten flanks or deliver a killing blow to depleted enemy units.
- Beast Snaggas: Slightly better than standard Boyz at hunting vehicles — their rampage rules deal mortal wounds to large targets.
Orks reward aggressive, forward play. Objective control through weight of bodies, not careful manoeuvring.
Value: Is the Orks Combat Patrol Worth It?
Exceptional value. 26 models including the Beastboss character and Squighog cavalry for £105 is one of the best model-per-pound ratios in the Combat Patrol range.
